Default MK1 Escort clock upgrade

Hi. Just joined this forum as I have purchased a MK1 that's been restomodded. There are still things to finish but a pressing issue for compliance is getting all the dials to work with a new Zetec on throttle bodies. What I'd like to do is replace the gauges with modern items but still retain the classic six dial look. Apologies if this has been asked multiple times in the past but can the small gauges - water temp, volts, fuel and oil pressure be replaced with modern dials and where best to get them from? Most auxiliary gauges come in 52mm but the original ones are smaller, about 45mm. I see there is a replacement panel available complete with gauges but want to retail the original look. Appreciate any advice since I'm a newbie at this. Cheers
